MM&K has launched its 30th Annual Private Equity and Venture Capital Compensation Survey – Join the Industry Benchmark

Last month, MM&K launched its 30th annual Private Equity and Venture Capital Compensation Survey, the leading and highly respected benchmarking resource tailored specifically for the UK and European PE/VC market.

We invite all private equity and venture capital firms—regardless of size or strategy—to participate in this comprehensive survey and gain valuable insights into how compensation trends are evolving across the industry.

The findings from our 2024 survey revealed several notable trends:

• Base salary increases for investment professionals ranged widely, from 0% to 12%, reflecting a diverse approach to compensation amidst varying market conditions.
• Non-investment professionals and support teams saw base salary increases ranging from 3% to 15%, indicating strong recognition of their growing importance within firms.
• Around 50% of participating firms indicated plans to expand their investment teams in the coming year—a strong signal of continued growth and investment appetite.
• Nearly 90% of firms reported having a carried interest plan in place, underlining the ongoing importance of long-term incentive structures in attracting and retaining top talent.

Participating in the 2025 survey offers your firm the opportunity to:

• benchmark your compensation structures against industry peers;
• gain exclusive access to key insights and emerging trends;
• receive a complimentary participant summary report, offering a concise overview of the key trends observed across the sector; and
• secure the opportunity to acquire the full, comprehensive report, offering in-depth analysis across all roles and remuneration elements.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the industry’s most robust compensation benchmarking initiative. To express interest in participating or to find out more, please contact the MM&K team at surveys@mm-k.com.
